Is it me, or do grilled cheese sandwiches seem to be making a move into the "It" food space? They've always been strong players in the world of comfort foods, but more and more they seem to be making moves similar to the now ubiquitous cupcake.

Eater recently published "New York's 12 Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches," which highlights amazing versions of the staple found all over the city, such as the buttermilk fried chicken grilled cheese sandwich, which contains: "lots of gooey jalapeno jack, cabbage slaw, and a dollop of the restaurant's special creamy 'melt sauce.'"

In Canada, entire grilled cheese restaurants are popping up. Some are even serving up carb-and-cheese-laden versions that are stuffed with macaroni and cheese. Oh my. I bet Takeru Kobayashi -- the guy who ate 13 grilled cheese sandwiches in one minute at SXSW this weekend -- wasn't eating those.
